2023 WORLD PEACE DAY
The UN commemorates different Declared Events for the Advancement of Humanity.
The observance of this year's International Day of Peace, which comes up on 21st September every year, is thematic of "ACTIONS OF PEACE : OUR AMBITION FOR GOALS." The global community is fixated on the next unpredictable scourge - Environmental Challenges, Food Insecurity, Health Degradation, Anti-socials, etc.
The aforementioned issues and more, have peace components. Climate Change is one subject that poses a formidable existential threat more than ever before. The prospective phenomenal rise in temperature, water levels ( ocean surge, etc), higher dose of ultra violet rays as a result of accelerating Ozone Layer depletion. These realities impact negatively on agricultural production, tolerable human wellness and industrial outputs.
Political miscalculations put a heavy burden on the polity. Unpopular governments are sprouting fast on the Sub Saharan Africa. This triggers nervous strings that disclocates smooth operations of government, especially as it affects Bilateral and Multi-lateral Relations.
Insecurity emanating from External Aggression, Internal Insurrection, Banditry, Kidnapping, Robbery and Cyber Crime take its toll on National and Global Peace.
Gender related issues like : Inequities, Inequality, Violence Against Women And Girls, Violence Against Men And Boys, Denial of Rights Against Widows/Orphans, Denial of Rights Against Female Children, etc, are potent tools against peaceable co-existence.
The world, overtime, is held hostage by Hard Drugs and crimes associated with it. Cultism, Ra**ng, Robbery, Kidnapping, Banditry, Assaults not excluding Split Personality, are results of the consumption of system unfriendly substances.
